BACKACHE, .EG PAINS MAY IE DANGER SIGN Of Tired Kidneys If backache and leg pains are making you miserable, don't just complain and do nothing about them. Nature may be warning you that your kidneys need attention. The kidneys are Nature's chief way of taking excess acids and poisonous waste out of the blood. They help most people pass about 3 pints a day. If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters don't work well, poisonous waste matter stays in the blood. These poisons may start nagging backaches, rheumatic pains, leg pains, loss of pep and energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes, headaches and dizziness. Frequent or scanty passages with smarting and burning sometimes shows there is something wrong with your kidneys or bladder. Don't wait! Ask your druggist for Doan'a Pills, used successfully by millions for over 40 years. They give happy relief and will help the 15 miles of kidney tubes flush out poisonous waste from the blood.

C-3, Jefferson Money back Iowa thing that would be mine, taking all the love I had to give it and then returning it to me, multiplied again and again. As long as I could, I put off telling Gene, but after all, that wasn't very long. If I hadn't told him when I did, he would soon have guessed. It was just as I had expected. He listened to the news blankly, as if he couldn't believe it; he wanted to know if I were sure, and when I said I was his face darkened with a kind of hopeless anger. "A baby!" he said. "That's just what we need! — when there's hardly enough room in this place for two, or enough money coming in to feed us! Good Lord, Arda — and you even act pleased." "I am," I said stoutly. "And you will be too, after the baby's here. You will — I know you will!" I had to keep repeating that hope, to him as well as to myself, so that I would be sure to believe it — as if repetition would make it true. Gene shoved a hand through his thick, dark hair. "Oh, sure," he said, "you bet. I'll be just crazy about falling over a crib every time I come into the house, or being kept awake all night after working down in the station fourteen or fifteen hours. That'll be wonderful." I WANTED to cry, but I forced the -* tears back. Gene wasn't as selfish as he sounded — I knew, because if he were, how could I have loved him so? "I'm sorry," I said gently and sincerely. "I mean, I'm sorry the baby's coming just now, when other things don't seem to be going along just right, and I'm sorry you — you don't want it as much as I do. But — well, there's nothing we can do about it anyway." "Nope," he said glumly. "I guess there isn't." Neither of us mentioned our standing arrangement whereby I took charge of the station in the afternoons. Pride kept me silent. If Gene himself wasn't going to suggest that naturally I couldn't continue, I wouldn't say anything. I could go on for a while, anyway, I told myself. I always felt well enough in the afternoons, and exercise was supposed to be good for you. And I passionately wanted to do nothing that would interfere with Gene's freedom. I couldn't stand another clash with him. Not, I thought often on those long, sunny autumn afternoons, that it made much difference whether I tended the station or stayed upstairs. There weren't many customers to wait on. One by one the regulars had stopped coming to us, until only old Mrs. Chandler and a few others were left. I asked Gene to bring down one of the comfortable chairs from the living room and put it in the office, and for hours at a time I would sit there, doing nothing, trying not to think. Something terrible had happened to Gene and me. Something— I didn't know what. We didn't quarrel actively any more; we seemed to have reached an understanding, but it was a bad understanding. Gene no longer kept up any pretense of doing repair work. He had lost all interest in the station — and in me. As long as I made it possible for him to get away for long periods of time he was content to drift along. But he couldn't drift forever. In another month or so I vould have to stop waiting on cars. It had been a mistake to start, really. Gene's halfhearted objection when I first suggested the plan had been right— it made \4^n Ml romous * // Radio Pian, si Vuini bbaueJ ?%T0 PLAY IANYS0NG From Actual Sheet Music!
